EVERY DAY the water crisis threatens children’s lives

Over 800 children die from preventable diseases caused by poor water, sanitation and hygiene every single day. In areas where water is scarce, girls are nearly twice as likely as boys to be responsible for collecting water, causing them to miss school and an education. Climate change is also destroying, drying up and contaminating water sources, leading to greater water scarcity in many regions.

Children need clean water now. Join our monthly donor community and help give the gift of clean water EVERY DAY.

Your monthly gift, even $1 a day, can transform the lives of children around the world.
